Well said 7sex7 !!! Sometime its very annoying and irritating with "kids" around.
mdfun810, are you sure AK is not taking any expat? I saw few gwuailos at KLIA few days ago and in many occasions previously in uniform wearing 4 and 2 bars.
Racing Green, I can guarantee you that you will not be accepted and never get a job if you don't try. Give it a shot and see what happen. I was informed that they are really short of pilot even all private cadets in a local flying academy are booked !!! With Transmile (a freighter company in Malaysia), you may get a chance to fly a Caravan in Borneo.
Cheers
